Many men are still wearing conservative hairstyles. It wears well with the middle-aged male that wants an easy hairstyle and with the likes of Pierce Brosnan, Richard Gere, Mel Gibson and Michael Douglas (just to name a few) it can still transform to a sexy look.

Opt for a short haircut around the sides and the nape areas to give the hair a neat appearance.

Leaving the hair longer layers on top, with textured pieces, will definitely give the hair movement.

Adding color to fine hair will give hair shine and make it appear thicker. For thick hair, added highlights will give the hairstyle a lot of movement.

Trendy hair styles come and go. Remember when the feathered look was in? How about when “big” hair was in during the 1980s? It’s a blessing that some of these styles are no longer popular. Pictures from the 1970s, 1980s, or any other decade, are vivid reminders of just how outrageous and downright bad certain hair styles looked.

Long hair naturally helps lengthen a round face shape, particularly if you use a center part that draws the eye along the length of the face. The key is to avoid adding extra volume around the cheeks (the fullest part of the face). Keep longer locks sleek and narrow until they pass the chin for a smoother style, and feel free to add wispy tapered ends to help soften the face and add distinction. An offset side fringe, similar to an emo style, is another way to incorporate longer hair to help slenderize a round face. Highlights framing the face can also break up the style and create a narrower appearance.

Trendy hair styles are definitely influenced by celebrities – including movie, music, and television stars. Back in the 1990s, when the television show “Friends” was popular, practically every girl aged 30 and younger told their hair dresser they wanted the “Rachel” cut. Today, some of the most popularly imitated celebrities are Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Jennifer Lopez. However, there are several others, including male celebrities, who have influenced how the world is currently wearing its hair.

Punk hair dos first came into fashion in the 1980s, when rock bands were focusing on alternative and experimental looks to make themselves unique and distinctive. The styles were quickly picked up by teenagers eager to express their individuality and rebellion against conformist society. Today, punk styles are still popular with alternative musicians and young people who prefer a lifestyle away from mainstream society such as gothic or rocker backgrounds. Mild versions of punk hair (unnaturally red hair in a traditional style, natural hair in a discreet Mohawk without shaved sides, etc.) are even becoming acceptable in most aspects of modern culture. Punk styles are also fun and popular costume dos.

Most people can accurately identify punk styles because of their highly visible characteristics: wild colors, startling cuts, and funky styles. But not every unique hair style can be classified as punk, and if you are truly interested in the rebel look you should understand how each of these characteristics can be used to create a unique and vibrant style.

This is a fabulous and flexible short cut which suits many face shapes. The hair has been layered all over and razored and flicked on the ends for texture and a gorgeous messy effect. The bangs have been cut mid-length to change the geometry of the style and to draw attention to the eyes.

Cosmetic companies spend hundred of millions of dollars every year to convince you that their products are better than the rest, but have you ever compared an expensive bottle of shampoo and a cheap one? Ever compared the ingredients? If you have you already know that they are almost identical, the only difference is the claims made on the bottle. Some claim to add shine or help re-growth but the reality is cosmetic companies are legally allowed to lie to us, they can say pretty much what ever they want about their product as long as they give a full and truthful list of ingredients.

Now that winter is in full swing, it's time to evaluate your personal care regimen. Just as you change your wardrobe from season to season, so should you shift your approach to caring for your skin and hair. This must mean that you can forget about using the sunscreen you needed in July, right? Wrong.

Although we do tend to spend more time indoors during the winter months, it doesn't mean we no longer need to protect our skin from the sun. For those who are challenged by winter sports, the need for protection is even greater. The exposure to ultraviolet light (UVA and UVB) may seem more subtle in winter than in summer, but, even on the most overcast winter day, the sun shines through and is reflected from surfaces, especially if the ground is covered with snow. Whether it be from a tinted foundation, or from a moisturizing lotion, a daily application of a sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) between 15 to 30 is essential for everyone.
